dollars to doughnuts that based on the outrage he'll craft the script so that the one or all of the properties that makes the radioactive ooze is from space or came from an alien ship that the goberment kept secret.....

that way he gets his alien link while staying true to the original.

Spoiler for Hiden:

or he could make the link from his Transformers movies by using the 'blood' that comes from dead robots

Finding a kind thing TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES co-creator Peter Laird might have to say about Paramount's reboot of the material with Michael Bay producing and Jonathan Liebesman directing is really no easier than finding a needle in a haystack. While his former partner in crime, Kevin Eastman, has been laying down the positivity on what's planned for the relaunch, Laird has been incredibly critical about virtually every aspect. Needless to say, he's not a fan of what's going on here... and that continues with Laird sharing his opinion on Megan Fox being cast as April O'Neil.

Quote

"My only exposure to Megan Fox as an actress is through her role in two TRANSFORMERS movies and the wretched (but happily forgettable) JENNIFER'S BODY. It may not be fair to judge her range of acting skills just from those three movies, but I think it is safe to say that there are probably hundreds of better choices for the role of April O'Neil. Of course, her name has promotional value, and maybe that's what they want. Who knows? I can't get myself too worked up about it."

I knew she was in the film,i didn't know she had actually been cast as April O' Neil,but i suppose it was a given after learning she was in it

She actually kind of looks like the April O'Neil from the 80's cartoon series and I'm willing to give her benefit of doubt since she hasn't had much material to really push her out of her comfort zone.

One could get the (cough) actress known as "April O' Neil" to play April O' Neil.

A Pew Research Center poll found nearly half of Americans hold the false belief that TARP was passed under President Obama, while only 34 percent know it originated under Bush."Oh yeah?" Bush replied. "50% of the people were wrong."

Will Arnett has joined Megan Fox as one of the leads in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, being made by Paramount and Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production banner.

Arnett’s role is being kept secret, though still uncast from the Ninja Turtles mythology are Splinter, the turtles' sensei rat, and the villainous and masked Shredder. Arnett is not playing the turtles' human friend Casey, another role that has yet to be cast.

“There was that quote saying that we’re making [the Ninja Turtles as] aliens. We’re not. It’s the ooze! It’s from the original source material. These are from the original writers, and I never went out to correct myself in the press. “

So there we go. Not aliens, alien ooze.

To be fair though,as the article states,the rumour came after Bay said it himself and a(now scrapped) script leaked online confirming that they were Aliens

Of all the things to complain about that wouldn’t make my top 100. The original Turtles movie didn’t have a yellow jumpsuit and the movie was great for the time; it even holds up pretty well for today. Just don’t try to watch the sequels…

After a fan expressed concerns about Michael Bay’s involvement in the film, Kevin Eastman said, “He’s been nothing but amazingly respectful, and Jonathan Liebesman’s been the director.” Eastman continued, “I’ve seen the script. I’ve seen the design of the characters. It’s fantastic. The story has all the right turtleisms. They’re in the sewers. I’m very excited to see the movie.”

Eastman also added, “My conversations with the director on the fight scenes is like, he said, “We want to do something better than like Raid: Redemption.” Eastman even added that Paramount’s mentality was that they wanted to do it like The Avengers.
